Belmont Stakes: I'll Have Another goes for the Triple Crown *UPDATE--Scratched*

If O'Neill is the cause of this injury, he might want to find a cabin to hide in for the next year or 30.

 

NBC execs are now bellying up to the bar.

 

That sucks. Probably gonna be a lot of tickets showing up for cheap online now.

 

Replaced with Just The Check.

 

Shit-and I'm going tomorrow. At least we got grandstand seats at face.

 

I'm pretty suspicious of this. Yeah, late scratches happen all the time. Maybe it's the timing of it and it being announced on DP's show.

 

Especially odd after today's early morning secret workout. Given O'Neill's reputation, the whole thing stinks.

 

Holy Shit. They (WWL) attributed DP.

Doug O'Neill, the trainer for Triple Crown hopeful I'll Have Another, told "The Dan Patrick Show" that the horse "is officially out of the Belmont."

O'Neill will hold a news conference early Friday afternoon at Belmont.

 

This is just terrible news for Tom Pedulla.

But, at least USA Today is off the hook.

 

Sad story. Great post.

 

Milkshakes on the house!

 

Send I'll Have Another to the glue factory.
